So it's read-a-thon time again. I can't believe it's already been a year since I first started participating in these events that bring all the reading community together. So today I'm excited to share with you the Bout of Books read-a-thon 11 coming up on August 18th and ending on August 24th. It's a great way to encourage everybody to read instead of watching a "not so normal" amount of TV shows and whatnot.

Here's a small text talking about what these read-a-thons are:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

So today's Bout of Books read-a-thon's challenge is to retitle the book you're reading and I think it's an awesome idea!

So I'm currently reading Watchmen by Alan Moore.

I would re-name it the Vigilante Squad. I've always been bad at giving title but I wanted to try this challenge out.

If you're participating in the read-a-thon you should definitely check out the daily challenges.

I was watching a video filmed by Andi who's an awesome blogger and booktuber and she was announcing her participation in The dog days of summer read-a-thon that's being hosted by the Estella society (http://www.estellasociety.com/). It's a 48h read-a-thon that starts on Saturday the 17th and ends on Sunday the 18th. It also has a theme and it's basically reading books that make you feel nostalgic and remind you of a a certain point in your life. It can be a re-read or other books by an author that you loved when you were younger. Look at you bookshelf and be creative! I chose two books:- The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm- The Dictionary of Mythology

I've never read the Grimm fairy tales before so that was an opportuinity for me and then I've been obsessed with Greek mythology from when I was 11 years old.

For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I have chosen 12 books that I can choose from for this read-a-thon. I know for sure I will not be able to read all of them but I gave myself some variety so that no matter what mood I'm in I'll find a book I want to read. So here they are:- The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick - V for Vendetta/ Watchmen by Alan Moore

- Scott Pilgrim 4 (Gets it together) by Bryan Lee O'Malley - Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare - Animal Farm by George Orwell/ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger- A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin - Bite Me by Christopher Moore - The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket

I might write some updates everyday and I will definitely try to upload a video a day on my youtube channel for updates (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsCNEKdsLSAEwatUC96-5tQ). If I'm not able to update on here everyday I will right a blog post on my total readings and page counts and all that jazz.

Can't wait to start reading like a maniac and I hope some of you join me as well.

1- To set a goal. She was talking about setting a goal of books you want to read during the summer however I'm going to set a daily amount of pages I want to read. 2- Read shorter book. I'm going to try reading a couple of light reads nothing too complicated and more on the lines of beach reads.

3- To read outside.

Here in Montreal the weather hasn't been that great and it's been raining for about a week but I decided to go read in a cafe and get out of the house where there is no internet connection or a tv to distract me.

I hope I'll finally be able to get through my current book.

Is someone out there relating to the way I feel about reading?

I absolutely loved this comic book and can't wait to read the next volume. It's mixed in with some humor, murder mystery, drama and action. I would recommend it to anyone. It's also perfect if you don't have much time on hand and want to read something very entertaining and quick. Anyways bottom line is that I loved it and I'll definitely be finishing this series maybe during the Bout of Books read-a-thon in August.
